Now that he's the NFL's all-time points leader, remember: Adam Vinatieri was 1 kick away from getting cut by the Patriots as a rookie. Says @Gil_Brandt , "Parcells told him if he missed it, there was no reason for him to come back to the locker room."

Asked Derek Carr if he thinks all players are buying into long-term view: "I can't speak for everybody. The guys that I've talked to, the guys that I believe in and the guys that are going to be around here for a while, absolutely."

Talked to all the Colts' tight ends after today's game -- in which THREE of them caught TDs -- and I learned there is actually a formation in the playbook that puts four of them on the field at one time. At this rate, I expect to see it in their next game.

Raiders 2016 first-rounder Karl Joseph on if he's heard trade talks about him: "I'd be lying if I said I didn't. Just let God handle the rest. That's out of my control. What I can control is my attitude and how I handle it and just let everything handle itself."

Raiders S Erik Harris: "I thought everyone had a great sense of urgency. The results didn't show up today, but things don't happen overnight. As long as guys keep buying in and sticking together, we have a great group of guys in here. I think things will change."

Pretty sharp looking offense from Raiders today. Particularly with misdirection during first two scoring drives. The Gruden-Carr thing has potential, regardless of the 1-6 record. Missing Lynch, Cooper may have caused more scheming to compensate. It worked. Carr got protection.
